According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Since 1989, breast cancer death rates have significantly decreased by 43% overall through 2020. Better screening, early detection, increased awareness, and improving treatment options have contributed to this decline. Spreading awareness through events like the Pink Celebration is key to surviving breast cancer.
